As anti-immigrant zealots plot the weekend's national marches and the pro-gun lobby rejoices in the boom in guns in the country, right-wing MPs should start worrying.
The Nats MP's anti-climate action dictums describe impoverished small businesses and people living in their cars but not the fires and floods devastating regional Australia.
As outraged and heartbroken Australians marched around Australia at the weekend, just whose 'values' are propelling the Israel-Hamas humanitarian nightmare in Gaza?
A Senate inquiry will be out for blood as it seeks climate and energy truth, a subject often misinformed by far-right anti-net zero, anti-renewables rabble rousers.
First they'd give the most boring word in the world, 'productivity', a good kick up the ol' date. Then they'd bring back the biff and kick big tech bros into touch.
A wealthy warrior for the black stuff, Nick Jorss, has just been given a rock-hard dose of market reality — and he's not taking it well.
A young man with brains and brawn has descended into a boring loudmouth loser who's been politically rotting from the head down for decades.
The prime minister is a cautious man, but Sunday's peaceful protest and public outrage over the Gaza war could be just the mandate he wants to go boldly forth.
The similarities with Australia's leadership are striking, from left-leaning to defence-spending demands to antisemitism pain. But there are big differences in guts and grit.
Australia and its Pacific Island neighbours are a shoo-in to host the global climate summit next year. Conservatives will be clutching their pearls over their stand.
For a Rhodes scholar, the failed Liberal Party leadership candidate says and does a helluva lot of dim-witted and bone-headed stuff.
They were dark days in the sunshine state when the wily 'country bumpkin' premier reigned supreme, when Queensland was rotten to the core.
Last month his children were too young for him to consider leadership. This month he's Mr Media. Those crazy kids. They've grown up so fast!
The former Nationals leader does his rant-and-rave best to persuade Australians that the UN-led climate change policy is 'crazy, crazy, crazy'. Never say die, clown prince.
When she went high, they went lower than low. And although mean and malevolent has played well in the United States, our PM proves nice can be a winner.
The US president and his lackeys presumed li'l ol' Oz would bow to their demands on everything from tariffs to trade and defence spending. Cop that, guys.
It'll take a long time for the senior Coalition party to get its breath back after that punch in the guts from voters.
Environment activists are coming for Labor with an agenda for urgent and transformative change, and their demands will only get louder and more vociferous.
Until both parties stand in front of banks of mirrors and look deeply into themselves, they haven't got a hope in hell of redemption in the minds and hearts of Australians.
Data obtained exclusively by The Politics shows Dutton’s numbers were crashing in his own seat. It was a far cry from the ‘tight contest’ predicted by the major polls.
Critical decisions on climate and energy policy loom for the new Opposition leader. Will she hold early ground, or be politically scalped by her own tribe?
Australians didn't just boot Dutton. They also ditched right-wing nut jobbers, Clive Palmer with his bonkers spendathon, and the schemes and dreams of MAGA-mad Gina Rinehart.
What she lacks in experience and ... how to put this gently ... humility, she makes up for with chutzpah enough for a future PM in any party that'll have her.
A mushroom cloud swirls around contenders in the bitter race for the Liberal leadership. And we all know how mushrooms can be fatal.
If Angus Taylor is the answer, the decimated party must ask a different question: will it stick with its male-dominated, attack dog, conservative ideology? If so, its end is nigh.
In his last desperate pitch for approval, the opposition leader blacklists Welcomes to Country, Indigenous flags and the 'hate media'. Are 'wokes' eating cats and dogs next?
The 'I'm not a scientist' opposition leader will feel the heat even more as his lack of — and derision of — climate action policies burns his electoral chances.
Four weeks before the election the opposition leader has belatedly recognised his MAGA-lite policies are on the nose for the electorate. Oof.
The ghost of Peter Dutton's old, stale ScoMo-era defence ministry looms over the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, the think-tank that China loves to hate.
Does shoot-from-the-lip 'Pistol Pete' really want to boast about having more in common with the scorched-earth US president than Anthony Albanese?
Now declared an 'insurance catastrophe', Alfie has become a very political storm, with a major cost-of-living sting in its tail.
When three PLA navy ships set a course to lap Australia, they blew cost-of-living off the front pages. Is this the pre-election reality check Australia needs?
But if anyone can, it’s Peter Dutton, the man who would be king, who's working devilishly hard to keep his right-wing courtiers' lips zipped as he sniffs election victory.
The 'greenfields' of Oz are anything but, and any hopes of gutsy political action on climate change are as dry and barren as the ground being broken in new suburbs.
There's a fraction too much fission in the nuclear energy plan delivered by Peter Dutton and his all-male sidekicks last Friday, and a fraction too much BS too.
The Australia v India Test is underway, and the opposition leader could learn from players about how to play the game with class: don’t bad-mouth the umpire when you’re called out.
How nuclear energy plays with Australians could help to decide the 2025 election. A big question, with echoes from 2022, is how the gender cards will fall.
What’s hot and what’s not in the contest of ideas? The Grattan Institute reckons SMRs are too hot to handle and renewables play it cool.
An independent senator fears not the wrath of Labor — nor the wealth of the Zucks and Musks of the world — by opposing the government’s mis- and dis-information bill.
Geoscience Australia identifies an ‘earthquake swarm’ with the potential to nuke Dutton’s power dreams.
As we get our heads around a 'drill, baby, drill' Trump, we also need to get our heads around our politicians’ word salads about keeping our lights on and our Pacific neighbours on dry land.
One year ago, 16 Coalition politicians flew to London on a freebie junket to the inaugural gathering of the world’s ultra-conservatives and their fellow travellers on the libertarian fringe. It was a love fest of atomic proportions.
Its loss in Queensland at the weekend has plenty of federal implications for the ALP, but it’s not all bad news because there are bold and positive clues for next year’s campaign.
A maverick Indigenous politician holds a mirror up to the world, a mirror that reflects the pitiful moral failures of post-Voice Australia.
The Opposition’s fission frontman Ted O’Brien was in his element at Australia’s premier pro-nuclear conference last week, feeling the love from a hot-to-trot audience swallowing every word from a smooth-talking messiah. Freelance Journalist Murray Hogarth was there and imbibed the vibe — but not the glow-in-the-dark Kool-Aid.
The US media gets accused of “sane-washing” Donald Trump a lot these days. That’s nothing new. Journalists have been cleaning up Barnaby Joyce’s brain for years. And The Politics was on hand when Australia’s own MAGA mind arrived at a Sydney leagues club this week to spruik the nuclear message.
As anti-immigrant zealots plot the weekend’s national marches and the pro-gun lobby rejoices in the boom in guns in the country, right-wing MPs should start worrying.
She was the traumatised victim of rape, and then her character and integrity were raped as well. But she has shown she has guts and immense inner strength.
The Sky News presenter’s ‘interview’ with Israel’s prime minister — a ‘wartime leader’ she considers of the same calibre as Winston Churchill — was pilloried as ‘not journalism’.
The Nats MP’s anti-climate action dictums describe impoverished small businesses and people living in their cars but not the fires and floods devastating regional Australia.
